Not able to switch HDMI Inputs

lesahkms 1 year ago ⋅ 1576 Read it

I have an older Harmony remote that still works but for whatever reason I can no longer update programming. A few people recommended this remote to me, and the price is right. Im in the AV industry, so I generally deal with high end remotes (think URC) and I just didn't want to deal with programming one up for my house right now.

So anyway- I program in my LG TV, Verizon set top box, blu ray player and apple TV. All work fine independently. Here's where my problems start.

So I set up a Macro to turn on the TV, Turn on the Verizon box and set it to HDMI 1. It turns on the TV, turns on the box but won't turn on to HDMI 1. However the button I assigned HDMI 1 to, works fine. Same with the Blue Ray - Turns on TV, turns on blu ray doesn't change to HDMI 2, however the assigned button when clicked aftewards works fine.

However- on the macro for Apple TV , it turns on the TV, turns on the apple TV and switches to HDMI 3.

Why is it working on the Apple TV macro, but not the macro for the Verizon and Blu Ray? (I'm using the large power button as the macro button for all 3, and the source button for the source for all 3).

Not a huge deal to have to press an extra button, but it's kinda frustrating when on the Harmony i could press "watch TV" and it would turn on the tv, correct hdmi and set top box.

    I have the same situation with my LG TV. I can find no other solution than pressing the button that you've programmed to switch HDMI inputs. As you write it is only an additional button but is, I agree, nonetheless frustrating. I have also found the build quality of the U1 to be very poor. the remote buttons gradually stopped working until they finally died, afte ronly 6 months. i have requested an replacement unit but to no avail. If there was a viable alternative I would happily purchase it

    I understand how the macros work and key assignment works. The key works independently to switch HDMI input, but will not work within the macro for set top box and blue ray, but works for apple yet they are all programmed the same.

    Macros can be used to control multiple devices to achieve one-click direct connection. Macros only support infrared devices but not Bluetooth devices. A maximum of 10 macros can be created for an infrared device Use key assignment to change different inputs for the device I took 2 videos for you, hope it can help you better know U1.
